GreenSox Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) The White Sox basically had to penalize themselves this year for the shot. Most of the big names have deals. I am sure they have some 300k and under guys lined up, and maybe they get lucky and someone emerges in the next month or so who is deserving of a bigger bonus if Robert signs elsewhere. I agree. And with this hard cap in future signing bonuses, what is the differentiation point of how a player selects a team? Whoever woos them the best? Heck it may even drive more players to the "name" teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This is hilarious but lol if this is not his real account and he signs with cards. That would be a huge gut punch. I'd also block him, that'll show the fake account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 For those wondering, and on desktop: www.instagram.com/luisrobertm56 Right-click on his profile photo, click "open in new tab". When in the new tab, edit the link and delete "/s150x150". Reload. That's how you full-size it to get a better look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Anyone has suggestion for a Cards forum? Are their fans eager to sign Robert? How are they reacting of the new IG pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they reacting of the new IG pic? Probably freaking out. Even though it isn't confirmation, their GM is clueless and misread the market, and their owner is a cheap bastard who must sell.

How are they reacting of the new IG pic? Gatewayredbirds.com has one five page thread about Robert, the last post is the IG pic, and one user and 13 guests are reading. It's the fifth post in the thread today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickofypres Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The hat pic is probably a ploy to twist the Cardinals' arm in negotiating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
